Booking your wedding photographer is a huge milestone
It is one of the most important decisions you’ll make during the planning process. You’ve chosen someone to document not just how your day looks, but how it feels. So what happens next? Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect (and what to do) after securing your wedding date with Baskin Creative Co.
1. Celebrate & Breathe
You’ve just made one of the most meaningful decisions of your wedding journey — take a moment to celebrate it! Booking your photographer means one of your most personal, emotional, and lasting elements is now in trusted hands. Breathe easy knowing your memories are covered with intention, artistry, and care.
Why This Matters:
-
It marks a major planning milestone.
-
Allows you to refocus on connection and intention.
-
Creates space to enjoy this moment before diving into more decisions.
2. Review Your Welcome Guide
Shortly after booking, you’ll receive a personalized Welcome Guide that walks you through every step of our journey together. Inside, you’ll find helpful information on what to expect, how to prepare, engagement session planning, timeline tips, and frequently asked questions.
What’s Inside:
-
Engagement session planning timeline
-
Vendor collaboration insights
-
Sample photography timelines
-
Tips for styling, locations, and more
-
A checklist of what happens next
"Booking your photographer means one of your most personal, emotional, and lasting elements is now in trusted hands."
3. Start Thinking About Your Engagement Session
We’ll soon begin planning your engagement session — a relaxed, editorial moment designed to reflect your story and build connection before the big day. Start browsing inspiration for seasons, outfits, and locations that reflect your personality as a couple.
What to Consider:
-
What season best reflects your love story?
-
Would you prefer urban elegance or soft, romantic nature?
-
Are there meaningful places we should include?
-
How do you want to use the images — Save-the-Dates? Wedding website?
I’ll guide you through outfit ideas, timing, and location choices so the session feels easy and enjoyable.
4. Build Your Vendor Team Around Your Vision
Your photographer works closely with many of your other vendors — from planners and HMUA to florists and cinematographers. I’m happy to recommend trusted creatives that align with your aesthetic and values. The earlier your vendor team is secured, the easier it is to create a timeline that flows naturally and supports the best lighting, location, and styling conditions for your photos.
Why This Matters:
-
Ensures seamless collaboration and fewer delays
-
Supports the flow of your timeline for portraits and editorial moments
-
Allows me to coordinate directly with vendors on lighting and logistics
"I’m here to be more than just your photographer — I’m your collaborator, visual storyteller, and calm presence from now through the final gallery delivery."
5. Lean on Me for Support
I’m here to be more than just your photographer — I’m your collaborator, visual storyteller, and calm presence from now through the final gallery delivery. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions, planning ideas, or thoughts as you move forward. Every couple’s journey is different, and I’m honored to walk this one with you.
Ways I Support You:
-
Unlimited planning check-ins or timeline walkthroughs
-
Engagement session styling support
-
Custom timeline collaboration with planners and vendors
-
A calm, reassuring presence on your wedding day
Wrapping It All Together
This season of engagement is more than planning—it’s about presence, partnership, and preparation for a day that reflects your love story with intention and joy. Booking your photographer marks a shift: from searching to celebrating, from guessing to guiding. You’re no longer walking this part of the journey alone.
At Baskin Creative Co., I am deeply committed to helping you feel not only seen and supported but beautifully prepared for each moment ahead. The best images are created when trust meets artistry—and that process starts now.
Whether you're envisioning an elegant affair in the heart of Regina or an intimate celebration beyond, you deserve an experience that reflects the heart of your relationship. Let’s start planning your engagement session — I’ll help you choose outfits, find the perfect light, and create images that feel like you. If you are still curating your dream vendor team then I would love to take the opportunity to introduce you to "The Luxe Collective" — a curated team of the very best wedding professionals that I know, like and, trust.
